Oscillicious has released a major update to BeatCleaver, the beat slicing tool for Windows and Mac OS X.

BeatCleaver is an easy-to-use tool for slicing samples and loops. This new release adds support for MP3 and M4A/AAC formats, fluid zooming to the sample level, and the ability to slice by beats or bars given a fixed tempo.

BeatCleaver 1.2 is available now for $15 / €12 / £10, and as a free upgrade for existing users.
